Description of problem:
When trying to kickstart an AS2.1 image, loaded on a RH9 server, I get
the following message. 

An unhandled exception has occured. This is most likely a bug. Please
copy the text of this exception to a floppy, then file a detailed bug
report against anaconda.

Where did you get your 2.1 tree?  It looks like the header list
doesn't reference all of the packages.

Comment 3 Mark Edlin 2004-01-16 19:56:47 UTC
I preformed a " cp -var" of the CD's I made from the ISO's off the 
web site. I copied them into the /var/ftp/pub/RedHat/AS2.1 of the RH9 
server. Then I ran "anaconda-runtime" to update the RPM list.

If this is incorect please let me know. Also, I did a test install 
from the CD's, made from the ISO images, and it worked fine. So 
ibelive the CD's to be good.

Thanks,

Mark Edlin

I recopied the ISO's and choose to overwrite the TRANS.TBL files and 
that seem to fix my errors.
